Gospel Reflections #682: God Knows Us so well

Psalm 32:7 "You are my refuge. You are the one who protects me from affliction. Who surrounds me with the joy of salvation."

The Bible is clear: "In this world there will be tribulation."

But God knows the weaknesses and limitations of each of us.

Therefore, He provides a shelter for each one of us and gives us refuge from tribulation.

God's 'protector from tribulation' does not remove tribulation, but opens the way to God through tribulation, thus protecting our lives or opening the way to salvation.

God is there in front of us, behind us and to the left and right of us, working for our best good.

We may not realise it most of the time, but when we experience God's work of protection, healing and guidance, even when our circumstances have not changed, even when we are in distress, we are freed from the weight of Satan's invisible power and God places us in gratitude, joy and hope! God will set us free in thanksgiving, joy and hope!
